Lin Xiu walked on the street, thinking in her mind how to realize her abilities as quickly as possible.
This kind of hot weather will slowly turn colder if it lasts for one month at most. At that time, people's demand for cooling down will not be so strong.
If you want to make money, you should do it as soon as possible.
However, even if Lin Xiu was anxious, the matter had to be solved one by one.
First of all, the location for selling ice must be chosen near the mansions of high-ranking officials and nobles. They are usually rich and live a luxurious life and will not be stingy with money.
And those people who live on the food and clothing line will not spend money on it even if they are popular.
Secondly, he cannot make ice out of thin air like Lingyin, so he needs to choose a place that is convenient for water collection, and it is best to rent a mansion with a water well...
This idea just flashed through Lin Xiu's mind and was completely denied by him.
The houses there are all owners, and the owner has a noble status and honorable status, so it is impossible to rent them to yourself. Even if there is an empty house with no owner, the rent is not something you can afford.
Lin Xiu sadly discovered that even though he had a way to make money, he could not implement it for the time being due to lack of start-up funds.
The opportunity is not to be missed, and the time never comes again. At present, it can be said that he monopolized the ice making industry alone. Every time this plan is postponed for one day, his losses are huge. In desperation, Lin Xiu could only settle for the second best and turned his attention to the rows of shops on both sides of the street.
This is the living area of ​​the royal officials and nobles in the capital. There are many shops on the street, brothels, restaurants and tea shops, and the decoration is extremely gorgeous, and the consumption inside is even more expensive. It is a famous gold-selling cave for Wang Youyou.
No matter how much money you have, you can spend it clean on this street.
Lin Xiu glanced at a restaurant.
...
Picking the Moon Tower.
As one of the most famous restaurants in the capital, Zhaiyuelou has always had a great business. Even the high-ranking officials and nobles in the court often visit here. Or in other words, the guests facing Zhaiyuelou are the high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital.
Ordinary people don’t even know where the gate of Zhaiyue Tower is opened, and even some small powerful people can’t afford it here.
But today, it is lunch time, and there is no one at Zhaiyue Tower, which is full of guests on weekdays.
The heat came from all directions, and the attendants of the restaurant were lying weakly on the table. Their clothes were already wet with sweat, and their voices seemed very weak.
"Hey, when will this weather end?"
"It's been half an hour, and there's not a single customer."
"The Bingjian is empty, and the building is like a steamer. Which guest would be willing to sit here and suffer?"
...
While several servants were talking in a low voice, two figures walked in from outside.
The person walking in front was a handsome young man, and a strong man followed him, probably his guard.
A servant stood up with his body, a smile appeared on his face, and asked, "What should I eat?"
Lin Xiu said straight to the point: "I'm not here to have a meal, I'll come to find your shopkeeper."
If he came to the restaurant and didn't eat, the servant who was already upset might have sent him away, but the young man in front of him was extraordinary and dressed in noble clothes, and he looked like an ordinary civilian at first glance.
The waiter patiently walked to the back and invited the shopkeeper out.
The shopkeeper of Zhaiyuelou is a middle-aged man. He is not tall and has a slightly fat figure. He reluctantly walked in from behind, bowed to Lin Xiu, and asked, "I don't know the surname of the young master, why do you come to Zhaiyuelou?"
Lin Xiu was too lazy to talk nonsense to him, and slowly stretched out his palm, and ice spread out from his palm.
As the ice layer appeared, the surrounding temperature also dropped a little.
The sudden chill made the shopkeeper Zhaiyuelou shudder. Then his mung bean-like eyes shine, as if he was afraid that Lin Xiu would run away. He grabbed his hand and said excitedly: "Young Master, talk upstairs!"
The second floor of Zhaiyue Tower, in an Accord.
After the shopkeeper of Zhaiyuelou ordered the waiter to serve tea, he looked at Lin Xiu with a burning look and asked, "Is the young master's extraordinary skill? Is it Bing..."
Lin Xiu didn't speak, but just picked up the teacup. The heat in the cup quickly turned into cold air. He took a sip of the iced tea, looked at the shopkeeper of Zhaiyuelou, and said, "I won't say nonsense. I want to borrow the water wells from the expensive land. As for the cost, it's ten taels of silver a day."
The shopkeeper of Zhaiyue Tower narrowed his eyes and immediately understood what he meant. A light flashed in his eyes, leaned back, and said with a smile: "It seems that the young master also knows that the weather has been hot recently, and the king's ice source is in short supply, and there is no market for the price. With the young master's ability, it is not difficult to make money every day. The price of ten taels a day is probably a bit low."
Lin Xiu raised her eyebrows and asked, "How much do you think is appropriate?"
Ten taels of silver are enough for a family of five to have food and clothing a year, and they can still eat meat every few days. His monthly salary in the Qing Lisi Department is only eight taels. Is this Zhaiyue Tower so rich?
The shopkeeper of Zhaiyuelou smiled and said, "At least fifty taels."
"make a deal!"
Lin Xiu slapped the table and said, "It's worthy of being Zhaiyue Tower. It's a plentiful move. Since the shopkeeper is so sincere, I don't have to go anywhere else."
The shopkeeper of Zhaiyuelou was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "Young Master means, these fifty taels are given to you by Zhaiyuelou?"
Lin Xiu asked back, "What if it is?"
The shopkeeper of Zhaiyuelou flashed with slight gaze, and then he smiled and said, "Young Master is joking. If you want to borrow the well of Zhaiyuelou, do you still want us to give you money?"
Lin Xiu didn't even look at him, but stood up straight and said lightly: "Since the shopkeeper is not sincere, then forget it. I think Piaoxianglou opposite may be more sincere than you."
Seeing that Lin Xiu was really about to leave, the shopkeeper of Zhaiyuelou quickly stood up and tried to stay: "Young master, stay!"
According to normal people's thinking, this person borrowed the well of Zhaiyuelou, so he should have paid Zhaiyuelou for silver. But now the capital is hard to find, and Zhaiyuelou's business is bleak. If this person can be left behind, he will provide ice for Zhaiyuelou, and the profits that Zhaiyuelou gets from it will be 5,000 taels or 50,000 taels of silver.
The ice storage in the major ice warehouses of the royal capital is in a hurry. I am afraid that only the palace will have Yu Bing. Leave this person, Zhaiyue Tower is the only restaurant in the royal capital that can provide ice. Will you still worry about not having business at that time?
The shopkeeper wanted to pretend to be stupid just now, thinking that this young man couldn't understand the pros and cons of it, but he didn't expect that he was naive. At this special time, if he pushed this person to his opponent, he would have the desire to die.
The shopkeeper grabbed Lin Xiu's arm and said, "Ten taels of silver, ten taels of silver. As long as the young master can provide ice for Zhaiyuelou, Zhaiyuelou will give you ten taels of silver every day!"
Lin Xiu looked at him with a smile and said, "The weather has been hot recently, and the source of ice in Wangdu is in short supply. There is no market for price. With my ability, it is not difficult to make money every day. The price of ten taels a day is probably a bit low."
He returned the shopkeeper's words as before.
The shopkeeper of Zhaiyuelou looked at Lin Xiu blankly, wishing he could slapped himself. Why did he have to say those more words just now?
He asked with a sad face, "How much is that young master think?"
Lin Xiu said: "Fifty taels."
The shopkeeper looked at him and said sadly: "Young Master, you are robbing money!"
Lin Xiu was not moved at all and said, "If the shopkeeper thinks it is expensive, I will go somewhere else to ask."
"Need not!"
The shopkeeper of Zhaiyuelou gritted his teeth and said, "Fifty taels are fifty taels, but the young master wants to promise me a condition that except for me Zhaiyuelou, we cannot supply ice to other places!"
Although he was very distressed at Fifty Tales, the value this young man could create for Zhaiyue Tower was ten times hundred times or even a thousand times. He could still calculate the account clearly.
Lin Xiu looked at him and said, "If this is the case, the price may be higher..."
The shopkeeper of Zhaiyuelou said: "I am willing to offer five times the market price!"
Chapter completed!
